The wonderful Nikon AF Micro-Nikkor 200mm f/4D IF-ED lens

By [NR] admin | Published: December 16, 2018

The wonderful Nikon AF Micro-Nikkor 200mm f/4D IF-ED lens by Elbert Jan Achterberg (http://www.achterbergbv.nl/fotografie/):

The AF Micro-Nikkor 200mm f/4D IF-ED is by far the oldest lens in my camera-backpack. It was bought, second hand, in 1997 and has been used by me on a F801s, F90x, F100, F5, D2x, D800E and now regularly graces a D850. Despite its age the 200mm is in my opinion still an absolute top performer in terms of image quality and usability. The working distance (distance from front lens to subject) of 260 mm at 1:1 reproduction ratio and its excellent tripod collar are big benefits. The long (for a macro lens) focal length of 200mm really helps with subject isolation.

Combining the older Nikon 1 J4 model mirrorless compact camera with the newer Nikon 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 AF-P VR (FX) lens by Paul Shepard:

A few years back I saw and “bit” (purchased) a special deal combining the Nikon 1 J4 (N1 J4) camera and 10-30mm kit lens along with the WP- N3 underwater housing. I think I had just destroyed my previous underwater camera (don’t ask) and wanted something to play around with in the nearby Caddo River in western Arkansas (USA).
